They took an X-ray and told me I had some form of bronchitis, gave me two shots in the buttocks of some steroidal, prescribed Prednisone and Azithromyicin, and cough syrup with codeine. I hoped the latter would help me to sleep, but I was up all night until I napped from 9:00 AM to noon. Other than the symptoms, I feel fine. The biggest problem is when I am in a prone position, the phlegm in my throat and lungs causes couching, spitting green gunk into tissues, and absolutely no sleep. I have not had a full night's sleep in 18 days. Very irritating and tiring. I should have gone to the doctor earlier, but I did not realize how many days this has been with me. I was on the phone with my eldest brother and he asked how long I've had symptoms. I thought it was a week, but when I began looking at the calendar in my head, it was nearly three weeks. I needed to work this weekend, but that's not going to happen. Hopefully, I can get some semblance of sleep, even four or five hours would help. Ouch, thats rough. At least you know how Barry Bonds and Clemens felt with those shots! Jokes aside, I hope you feel better. Maybe get some recommendations from your doctor on how to sleep with the symptoms you have. Sleep is so important. Hard to function without it. Keep us posted. Rizzo’s turn to have a violated ass. I hear banjos playing… |

Wishing you only the best and hoping you get better soon. I know how you feel = I got COPD from decades of smoking and even though I gave up smoking over 4-years ago = everyday still coughing up phlegm = a lot. But the phlegm is looking better = I figuremy damaged lungs are just getting rid of all the smoke crap...
Anyway, hoping you get better.

There’s nothing like having handsome phlegm… 🤓 |

What did the doctor say rizz? Hope you're okay bud. They took an X-ray and told me I had some form of bronchitis, gave me two shots in the buttocks of some steroidal, prescribed Prednisone and Azithromyicin, and cough syrup with codeine. I hoped the latter would help me to sleep, but I was up all night until I napped from 9:00 AM to noon. Other than the symptoms, I feel fine. The biggest problem is when I am in a prone position, the phlegm in my throat and lungs causes couching, spitting green gunk into tissues, and absolutely no sleep.

I needed to work this weekend, but that's not going to happen. Hopefully, I can get some semblance of sleep, even four or five hours would help. Hang in there, Rizz. I know respiratory illnesses suck but I hope the drugs you're on due the trick. |

Thanks, CHI! Eating a Greek salad for lunch. Going to make an effort to stay away from fast food. Time to lose some freight and stoke my immune system.

Since this had dropped off the front page of our posts I thought maybe it was time for a little Nilsson, cause you know that it’s early in the morning… youtu.be/vrUnYcPIvzM |

Bob Seger is 78 years old today…
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues

Cherilyn Sarkisian is 77 today. I’ve never been a big fan, but recalling her duet with Sonny Bono in the 60’s is always fun, and I must admit the “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves” was good stuff. In any event, she made movies, and kept herself relevant in the entertainment business and the tabloids for a long time…

Wild and crazy stuff. It was a grey period in music for me, as I didn’t care for the trend. I didn’t mind “Video Killed The Radio Star”, but never went much fog the hip hop sound or culture… |
